STRANGE THOUGHTS

'The Shades of a Darkness' nervous intro with expressive orchestration bringing Sabina's entry to languorous pop- rock; modern Adrian's electro and solo break for a sound reminiscent of MILLENIUM; the finale with a heady riff with Christopher releasing a languorous, hovering solo. "Carnival Swirl" harpsichord intro, ethereal verse, fresh cheerful chorus at the antipodes for a melodic title; the guitar solo shows the remarkable touch starting very high, sensitive; final oppressive drums and ethereal synth pads. "What If?" » with a half-heavy riff on those of the first JETHRO TULL, memory; Peter on bass sets the tone while Christopher amplifies the electro 80 side; halfway through the endless solo, all in softness, sensitivity, emotion; a soft finale with metronomic piano and soft air from the synths. "Raw/waR" spatial, symphonic intro, consensual verse before a nervous, heavy wave chorus! Sertari the new voice of KARNATAKA lends his strong voice, the variation is on a guitar slide then a sharp electronic solo.

"Opium" repetitive piano intro then a few cymbals imprint a hypnotic tune; the saturating synth creates the oxymoron and pricks the ear; the new age air, alkaline, ah this latent atmosphere at 2'30''? A redundant air that embeds itself in the head like a drug. "Strange Thoughts" solemn intro where I find similarities with the work of Ryszard from MILLENIUM; softness and meditative reflection, a bit of FLEETWOOD MAC for the ballad side, a bit of ALAN PARSONS PROJECT, a bit of spleen and a very beautiful solo after Sabina's high vocal; simple, effective until the last second. "Eyes Wide Open" with the proven electro intro that denotes the heavy riff even more; dancing, riff on a very good groovy TOTO, a surprising SNIFF N THE TEARS; the break with Christopher who releases a stunning synth solo, melodic then nasty, stunning; go yet another with piano and keyboard in the background, the composition becomes progressive musical art, the most beautiful title that loses us in the meanders. Mid-tempo "The Lightness of the Wind" reminding me of RUSH, a romantic nursery rhyme ballad; inventive percussion brings the album's guitar solo, breathtaking Adrian; agreed melodic air without these lunar derivations which give a surprising power; a last twirling synth solo before "The Flame" when I start to tame the voice, well done, not so linear; on Céline DION in marshmallow, romance and delicacy; a slow ballad to wrap up at the time when we had the right, a title that comes to close this album much more complex than it seems.

LOONYPARK offers a new musical concept with varied and numerous melodic titles and progressive drifts.
